Chapter 11: Jessica Jones
Like Daredevil Matt Murdoch, Jessica Jones was originally an ordinary person.
On a family trip, the father who was driving was distracted and caused his car to collide directly with a military vehicle laden with radioactive chemicals, exposing everyone present to the radiation.
In the end, only Jessica survived and was taken to the hospital, where she fell into a coma.
When she awoke, she found that because of the radiation, he had gained flight and powers far beyond ordinary people.
Realizing that she can use her abilities to do good, she puts on her uniform and becomes a superhero named "Jumbo Girl".
Jessica then encounters Zebdia Kilgrave, a villain known as "The Purple Man", who has the ability to mind manipulate, and he uses his abilities to control Jessica, imprisoning her, and insulting her both physically and psychologically.
The experience of being controlled by the Purple Man caused Jessica to suffer from severe post-traumatic stress disorder, and she began to become an alcoholic, and used her abilities to open a "pseudonymous detective agency" and become a private detective.
Later, for various reasons, she would join Matt, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist to form a superhero organization called the League of Defenders.
But now, due to the trauma of stress, she is still the private detective who is drunk and dreaming of death, using her power as she pleases to complete the extremely difficult commission for those ordinary people.
The owner, Sfeis, looked at Jessica who lifted her car in horror, "You, you're a mutant?" I tell you, if you dare to touch a single hair of me, I will publicize your affairs. ”
With a sneer, Jessica took out the summons and threw it in Sfeiers's face casually, and took a picture casually:
"Shut up, Sfels, do you think anyone will believe the words of people like you, take the summons, it will cost you less to get this lawsuit than it will cost you a hair transplant."
"People would rather believe you're crazy than think I'll be able to lift this car up, or melt your guts with a laser eye, and trust me, there's no trace left."
The unconcealed threat had apparently succeeded in scaring Sfels, and Jessica smiled with satisfaction and turned to leave.
Just as she was about to walk out of the alleyway, in the dark corner, a voice suddenly came.
"Don't you think it's too imprudent to do this?"
"Who?" With a frown, Jessica quickly followed the direction from which the voice came.
Under the dim neon lights, two figures appeared in the corner of the alleyway, a tall man in black with the upper half of his face covered, and a Chinese teenager who seemed to be a student.
Such a peculiar combination, how strange it looks.
Looking at the direction in which Sfels left, Gu Chongyan shook his head and said, "Of course, not many people will believe Sfels's words, but as long as one person believes it, it will not be a good thing for you, and if you do this, you will only put yourself in danger." ”
Jessica looked at Gu Chongyan with a strange expression, she couldn't imagine that such old-fashioned words came from the mouth of such a Chinese teenager.
However, she also saw that the other party had no malicious intent, shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's okay, I'm not a mutant, and I don't have anything to look bad at, I don't need to hide around, no one will notice me." ”
"Including Kilgrave?" Gu Chongyan Road.
Hearing this name, Jessica's pupils shrank, the blood on her face instantly receded, and the whole person put on a defensive posture, like a wounded young beast, with the word vigilant written all over her body.
"You, how did you know that name?"
Looking at Jessica, who could barely control herself, Gu Chongyan sighed secretly, it seems that the pressure trauma that the purple man has brought to her is not small.
"Divine Guard!"
With a soft snort, silver-white points of light flowed out of his fingertips, turning into a bud and gently drifting to Jessica's side.
The tiny shoots seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, but when they surrounded Jessica, they made her feel as warm and secure as if she was in a mother's body.
The fear in my heart is like the ice and snow in winter meeting the warm sun in summer, and of course there is no longer in an instant.
For the first time since escaping the Purple Man's control, Jessica felt so relaxed, the feeling of being oppressed, bound, and imprisoned at all times, as if it had never existed.
Looking at this magical scene, Jessica's eyes widened subconsciously, and she looked at Gu Chongyan in disbelief.
"What did you do?"
"What did you do?"
Jessica and Matt said in unison.
Although Matt couldn't see the presence of the Patronus, through his super hearing, he could sense that Jessica's heart was beating violently due to terror, and he calmed down in an instant.
Obviously, Gu Chongyan must have done something.
"Nothing, just magic." Gu Chongyan shrugged.
As he thought, the Patronus Charm was able to alleviate Jessica's stress trauma.
After all, the Patronus Charm is a positive force that represents hope, happiness, and the desire to live, and is therefore able to restrain dark creatures like Dementors.
Similarly, Jessica's stress trauma is essentially a mental erosion by negative forces, and the Patronus Charm can naturally have an effect.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Sean Gu, I am a wizard, this is my ally, Matt Murdoch, and at the moment, we are fighting against a demon called the beast."
"But it's just the two of us, the strength is too weak."
"Miss Jessica, you have extraordinary talents, and I hope that your power will help us."
"In return, I can help you solve the problem that has been bothering you, I guess, I don't need to prove anything, do I?" Gu Chongyan pointed to the Guardian Saint Dao that surrounded Jessica.
"Wizard? Demon? ”
Like Matt, Jessica's first instinct was to joke.
However, looking at the Patronus suspended in front of her, she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.
Although she didn't know if the silver sprout was magic or some kind of incomprehensible technology, it did make her feel more peaceful than ever.
It was the first time she had felt this way since that encounter.
Looking at Gu Chongyan, there was silence for a moment, and Jessica said, "What do you need me to do?" ”
With a satisfied smile, Gu Chongyan took out a business card from his arms and handed it to the other party.
"Veles taxi shop? Are you going to investigate this taxi shop? Jessica asked.
"Just asking you to take two pictures." Gu Chongyan Road.
"It's nominally a taxi shop, but it's actually the territory of the Maozi gang, which is used to cover them on the surface."
